The vote in favor of the pension reform is still uncertain for some of the Republican deputies, and a political office is organized on Tuesday February 14 at the party’s headquarters to try to bring order to the ranks. Live from the party’s headquarters in Paris, journalist Hugo Capelli takes stock.

The pension reform continues to divide the Les Républicains (LR) party. Journalist Hugo Capelli, live from the party’s headquarters in Paris on Tuesday, February 14, explains that the party is separated into two camps. There is “those who want to vote for this pension reform, as is the case with chef Éric Ciotti, and then opposite, there are around twenty deputies, including the number two of the party Aurélien Pradié, who expect concessions from the government, especially on long careers, to vote for this pension reform”explains Hugo Capelli.

A political office to “appease the situation”

“This disunity absolutely does not please certain tenors of the party, such as Senator Bruno Retailleau who speaks of excluding Aurélien Pradié from his position as number two if he does not vote for this pension reform”, continues the journalist. A political office will take place at the party’s headquarters in Paris on Tuesday morning. He “will aim to calm the situation and also why not find common ground”, says Hugo Capelli.
